Third: &certainty o f credit sufficient to enable the marketing of products In an orderly manner. Fourth: th* Department o f Agricul­ ture should collect, tabulate, summa­ rize, and regularly and frequently pub- ,Ush and distribute to the former*, full Information from all the markets of the world, so that they shall be as well Informed o f their selling position as buyers now-are o f their buying post- tion. , Fifth: freedom to integrate the busi­ ness o f agriculture by means o f con­ solidated selling agencies, co-ordinat­ ing ahd .co-operating Jn such way as to put the farmer on an equal footing With the 'large buyers, o f hi# products, and with commercial relations In other Industries. t . : When a business requires specialized' tricot, .it baa to hoy It, So will the farmers ;an d perhaps the best way for them to get It would be ts utilize some o f the present machinery of th* larg- .est established agencies' dealing Ip farm products. O f course, If he wishes, th* farmer may 'go farther and Inifeor-mfiltegsHud ether o f food product*. In my opinion, however, he would be wise to stop short o f that, ..Public interest may be opposed to all great integrations; but, In justice, should they he forbidden to the farmer and permitted to others? The corporal* form o f association can­ not now be wholly adapted to hip ob­ ject# and conditions. ‘ The looser co­ operative form seems more generally suitable: ‘ Therefore, he wishes to be. free, if he find* ltdeslrabl* and feas­ ible, to resort to co-operation with his fellows and neighbors, without run­ ning afoul of the kw . To urge that the farmers should have the same lib­ erty to consolidate and co-ordinate their peculiar economic functions, which other’ industries lu their fields enjoy, is not, however, to concede that any business .Integration should have legislative sanction to exercise monop­ olistic power. The American people are as firmly opposed to Industrial as to political autocracy, whether at­ tempted by rural or by urban Industry. For lack o f united effort the farmers is a .whole are still marketing tlielr •wops by antiquated methods, or by no methods at alt, but thCy are surrounded by a business world that has been modernized to the last minute- and Is ilrelessty striving for efficiency. This efficiency Is due 1ft large measure to big huslnes#, to united business, to in­ tegrated business. The farmers new tho products are held back or produc­ tion is reduced or suspended. It Is not compelled to send a year’s work to the market at one time and taka whatever It .can get under such circumstances. It has one selling policy and Us own export deportment. Neither ate the grades and qualities o f steel determin­ ed at the caprice pf'the buyer, nor does the latter hold the scales. In this sin­ gle Integration of thq steel corporation Is represented about 40 per cent Of the steel production o f America. The rest Is mostly lb the hands o f a feW large companies. In ordinary times the steel corporation, by example, stabilize# all steel prices. If this Is permissible (It la even desirable, because stable and fair prices are essential to solid and continued prosperity) why would "it be wrong for the.farmers to utilize central agencies that wouid have simi­ lar effects on agricultural product*? Something ilk* (bat la what they are aiming at. Some farmers favored by regional compactness and contiguity, such as the citrus-frult-ralsers of California, al­ ready have found a way legally to merge and Sell their products, inte­ grally and In accordance with seasonal and local demand, thus improving their position and rendering the con- find relatively steady .prices. They have not found It necessary to resort ’to any* special 'privilege; or to «claltn any ext lption under the anti-trust legislation of the state or nation. With­ out removing: local control, they have built up. a 'v e ry efficient marketing agency. The grain, .-cotton, and to­ bacco-farmers, and ■the’ producera »t hides and wool, hecaa.se of their num­ bers * '<1 the vastness of their regions, end •tor •other reasons, have found integration a more difficult task; though there are now some thousands of , farmer’s . Cft-operative elevators, warehouses, creameries, and other en­ terprise o f obe sort and another, with a tutn-oye- o f a billion dollers a year. They St* giving the farmer# business experience and training, ^and, so far as they go, they meet the need of honest weighing and fair grading; but they do not meet the requirements of rationally adjusted marketing In any large and fundamental way, ‘ Tho next step, which will be a pat­ tern for other groups, is now being prepared by the graimralsers through the establishment o f soles media which shall handle grain separately or col­ lectively, as the lndfvldiial farmer may elect. It |a this step—the plan of the Com Ittee of Seventeen—which has created so much opposition and Is thought by some to he In conflict with Though there the anti-trust laws. I# seek the benefits ofsueh largeness, on- j now before congress a ‘measure de- Ion stld Integration i ari . j signed to clear up doubt on this point, T* The American farmer Is a modern o f I the grain-producers aas not relying on R^Fteld goals: McMilIan3, RitenoUrS the moderns In the use o f labor saving |any immunity from anti-trust legists machinery, and he ha# made vast strides In recent year* in scientific tillage and efficient farm management, but as a business In contact with other businesses agircultufe Is a “ due horse shay" in competltlon'wlth high power automobiles. The American farmer is the greatest and most Intractable of Individualists. While industrial pro­ duction and all phases of the huge com­ mercial mechanism and Its myriad ac­ cessories have articulated and co-ordi­ nated themselves all the way from nat­ ural raw materials to retail sales, the business o f agriculture has gone on In much the one man fashion o f the back- woods ot the first pari: of the nine­ teenth century, when the farmer was •elf sufficient and did not depend upon, or care very much,.what the great world wee doing. The result IS that tion. They desire, and they are et) tided, to co-ordinate tlielr efforts Just as effectively as the large business In­ terest# of the country have done, in connection with the gelling organiza­ tions the United -States Grain Grower# Incorporated Is drafting a scheme of financing Instrumentalities and ftaxill­ ary agencies which are Indispensable to the .successful utilization o f modem business methods; It is essential that the- farmers should proceed gradually with these plans, and aim to avoid the error of scrapping the existing marketing ma­ chinery, which has been so laboriously hnllt un bv Ion# eznerience hafor# ussy save a tnea nnu proven buj » i »- tute or supplementary mechanism, |They must be careful not to become I enmeshed in their own reforms and ♦K* In almost as . loM thfe perspective o f their plsca In t national system.

Code, I herewith submit to you my. findings regarding the tax valuation o f the real estate in Greene munty: I find-the real estate o f Greene county is not assessed on the tax duplicate at its real value in money. However, in view o f the fa ct that we are now experiencing a period" o f business depression and - the read­ justment from a warto a peace basis has not been fully completed, I feel that it would be unwise to order a re- sppraisement o f real estate at this time. Further more, the expense o f making an, appraisement would be about $20,000,00 and such an expen­ diture would not be ,in keeping, with che policy o f thjs office and your own . honorable body, all members o f which l know, favor retrenchment and economy. I therefore feel that the above find ng should be set aside and the re- ippraisement postponed until condi- ,ipns in the country have become nore stabilized. Very respectfully submitted R. O.

Last Friday evening the Cedarville ‘ Jollege Quintette journeyed to Cin- dnnati. They met the fast Ohio Me- fimnfes Institute team on their own rloor and put up a vastly different “ stand o f basketball from that display cd against Antioch. Cedarville fans * will remember the Mechanics when .hey played here, although the Col- ege five put up a good game at that time, they were easily defeated 32-13. A t Cincinnati it was not so easy* During the first half both teams were strong on defense but weak when it •lame to shooting. A t the end o f the period the scoreboard showed Mech­ anics 6, Gedarville3. In the .second half the score was tied m ost-of the time and the game Was fast and very scrappy, Cedarville had the ball in their possession most o f the time but were Unlucky in shooting. Only a few minutes before the end o f play the score stood 15 to 12 in favor o f Ce­ darville. Just before tho whistle blew Spriggs registered several lucky long stots and the final score was 22-10, Cincinnati. As usual Coliins registered the ma­ jority o f Cddarvillo’s baskets, Spriggs was prize point' getter fo r the wrench jugglers, The team was much more aggressive then in the Antioch game. They showed a decided disposition to mix it with their heavier and. more seasoned rivals. That ecrappy-in-there and-at’ern-every-minute spirit Is the stuff that takes With the fans. We are predicting a. change if it keeps up. A summary o f the game: Cedarville O. M. Institute Coliins R F _-.„»„^Borrislegel Gurry ------- J , F „*.M*.„kMarlands Taylor C - ______.J .
